    1,300 dhl sort workers join teamsters, win recognition

    1,300 DHL SORT WORKERS JOIN TEAMSTERS, WIN RECOGNITION



    More than 1,300 sort workers at DHL’s global hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) have joined Teamsters Local 89 after the company voluntarily recognized their right to collectively bargain. These workers will now be covered under the same strong contract that protects over 1,100 CVG ramp and tug workers who joined the Teamsters last year. Nationwide, the Teamsters now represent over 7,300 workers at DHL Express.



    DHL’s decision to voluntarily recognize its workers’ right to unionize is a sharp contrast to the aggressive union-busting tactics employed by Amazon at its adjacent KCVG air cargo hub. Amazon has relentlessly fought to deny its workers the fundamental right to unionize, employing every tactic possible and violating federal labor laws to prevent them from organizing with the Teamsters.



    Despite Amazon’s unlawful efforts, more than 4,000 workers at KCVG are continuing their fight to secure the same robust protections that thousands of DHL workers and more than 340,000 Teamsters in delivery and logistics at UPS currently enjoy.
